About me

I am a self-motivated, conscientious, creative and highly sociable individual with a passion for the English language and the drive to progress personally and/or professionally in every endeavour I undertake.

Currently working as a social media strategist at an award-winning digital agency in Leeds, I'm dedicated to personal and professional development and the cultivation of my creative streak, and as such am currently undertaking a distance-learning course in copy-editing with the Publishing Training Centre, as well as an art and design course at Leeds College of Art and Design.

I have a flair for the written word and love any project that challenges me to think of the right way to get the message across. If youd like to take a look at my examples of work, then do get in touch - I'd love to hear from you.
